New Fortnitemares 2026 Sprites Revealed

Epic Games has confirmed that we’re getting two new FortniteSprites for this year’s Fortnitemares event. The Halloween sprite variants resemble a jack-o’-lantern and a vampire monster. Although I personally think the Vampire Sprite looks more like a meatball with teeth.

Epic Games sent multiple creators the designs for the upcoming Halloween Sprites so they could 3D-print them. This isn’t the first time new variants have been revealed this way. In fact, we got our first preview of several FortniteChapter 7 Season 4 Sprites this way, days before Overrideeven launched.
